2016 Tour de France, Stage 3: Granville → Angers (224km)

[Praying Mantis]

So how are you guys liking the new Race Center letour.fr got going? It's alright I guess. Seems like it's more difficult to get an overview of the situation on the road, basically have to click those tiny dots on the profile to see who's in what group. Also I don't understand why the map won't let me pan and scroll around to my liking.

Re:

It's fine to have flat stages like this, but I don't understand the need for it to be 223 km.

well, TommyV TV day...

To quote a regular poster: "A race that doesn't give an attacker the chance to finish it off alone is not a race anymore"

It really is the worst thing when you tune in to a boring stage with ~25 km to go and feel it's too early to watch the snorefest but you don't really have the time to do anything worthwhile between now and the sprint.

Yep. Worst thing is it probably won't finish before I have to leave to pick up from nursery.

I don't mind attention seekers as long as they have the natural charisma to back it up, I.e Sagan

Tommy is just absolutely painful to watch

Hinault would have been better; apparently what you did in this stage doesn't matter anyway.

 

[TomLPC]

Think it was cav, gripel celebrated though

 

[rainman]

Cav surely

 

[King Boonen]

Cavendish I think?

 

[Red Rick]

Cav is back. Definitely

 

[Jungle Cycle]

UAU!!

 

[Billopoulos]

Cav in the last meter I think...
Group split?

 

[Pricey_sky]

Cav what a lunge!!!!

 

[Irondan]

Cav!!!!!!!!!!?

 

[TMP402]

I found it a lot easier to see it was Cavendish than the commentators....
